Immortal God of War

"Because I am the Heart Demon!"

"Aren't all of you people full of hatred towards the Heart Demon?"

The Heart Demon said.

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't overthink it. Mother is not the person you described. Whether it's me or you, we're both her children."

"Is it really true?"

The Heart Demon murmured, with a hint of anticipation, and a bit of nervousness.

Qin Feiyang couldn't help but chuckle. It was the first time seeing the once insufferable Heart Demon so anxious and uneasy.

No,

this was the second time.

The first time was when facing Uncle Yuan.

It seemed this guy had completely changed.

"Young Master, found it."

After a moment, the voice of the old woman suddenly sounded below.

Qin Feiyang and the Heart Demon brightened up and immediately landed beside the old woman.

"Huh?"

"Why are there two Young Masters?"

The old woman was astonished.

The other fifteen people and Thunder Leopard also looked at Qin Feiyang and the Heart Demon in confusion.

"Don't make a fuss over nothing."

The Ghost Snake Emperor pursed its lips and slammed its massive tail onto the ground in front of it.

Instantly,

dust flew everywhere!

A three-meter-wide hidden passage appeared in everyone's sight.

Qin Feiyang and the Heart Demon immediately jumped in.

Inside the passage, it was dark and damp. Due to the previous battle, many places had collapsed, but this did not affect everyone.

The Ghost Snake Emperor led the way, clearing the path as it progressed.

Soon.

Qin Feiyang discovered that this passage spiraled downwards, reaching deep into the seabed.

After about several hundred breaths.

An ancient stone door appeared ahead.

"Here it is,"

The Ghost Snake Emperor said.

Everyone quickly ran to the stone door.

The stone door was tightly shut, three zhang high, five meters wide, exuding a heavy aura.

The Heart Demon asked, "How do we open it?"

"There's a mechanism."

The Ghost Snake Emperor flew up to the top of the stone door, raised its tail, and pressed hard against the wall.

Crack!

The spot immediately caved in.

And the stone door opened accordingly.

"Ordinary mechanisms are set on both sides of the door, but this one was set above. It took me a long time to find it then,"

The Ghost Snake Emperor said proudly.

"Impressive."

Qin Feiyang wholeheartedly gave a thumbs up, satisfying this guy's vanity.

The stone door slowly opened.

Everyone stared at the stone door, their eyes full of expectation.

Finally!

The opening of the stone door was large enough for one person to pass through.

Qin Feiyang and the Heart Demon eagerly rushed in. What they saw was a dimly lit long corridor, several kilometers in length.

Flanking the corridor were rows of neatly arranged prison cells.

But these cells were not built of stones; they were made with thick iron bars, as thick as an adult's arm.

And in the cells ahead, there was not a single person.

The Ghost Snake Emperor said, "They're all at the far end."

Qin Feiyang and the Heart Demon quickened their pace, heading inside.

Meanwhile!

In a dozen or so cells at the deepest part.

Each of these cells held more than a hundred people sitting inside.

Altogether, there were more than a thousand people!

But on their hands and feet were locked black handcuffs and shackles!

At this moment,

some of them remained silent, eyes closed, resting.

Some were staring at the wall, vacant-eyed.

Others were whispering softly.

But without exception, every face was filled with bitterness and despair.

"Will the Young Master come to save us?"

In one of the cells, an elderly man in black opened his eyes, looking at everyone as he asked.

"Don't think about it."

"This place is so hidden, even if the Young Master wants to rescue us, he can't find it!"

"Yeah!"

"If the Image Crystal Stone hadn't been destroyed, we could have sent a distress message to the Young Master, but now..."

"Alas..."

As they said this,

everyone fell silent, looking extremely helpless.

The black-clad old man also sighed, slowly closing his eyes.

But suddenly!

He seemed to have noticed something. He turned his head towards the corridor and saw, at the far end, a group of people quickly approaching.

And who else could the two leading people be, if not the Young Master?

"The Young Master is here?"

"This..."

The black-clad old man was stunned, incredulously rubbing his eyes, looking again.

Immediately,

he stood up abruptly and shouted, "Look quickly, it's the Young Master!"

"What?"

"The Young Master!"

The people in each cell, hearing the black-clad old man's words, were momentarily stunned, then scrambled to their feet, following the gaze of the black-clad old man, looking towards the corridor.

"It really is the Young Master..."

"And Thunder Leopard..."

"The Young Master..."

"The Young Master didn't abandon us, we're saved..."

Over a thousand people immediately cried out, with even some bursting into tears of joy.

At the same time!

Hearing everyone's cries, Qin Feiyang and Heart Demon exchanged glances, overjoyed, and quickly flew over.

When they saw those familiar faces, their hearts couldn't help but ache.

"Greetings, Young Master!"

More than a thousand people knelt on the ground in unison, shouting loudly.

"Get up, everyone, quickly get up."

Qin Feiyang hurriedly said.

Everyone slowly got up, looking at Qin Feiyang and his group, some smiling, some crying.

"Young Master, it feels like an eternity waiting for three days... You've finally come..."

The elderly man in black walked to the iron bars, grabbed Qin Feiyang's hand, tears streaming down his old face as he spoke the simple words that conveyed deep bitterness.

"I'm sorry, if I had been more calm and seen through the State Preceptor's plan, you wouldn't be imprisoned now..."

"It's my fault for causing you so much grievance."

Qin Feiyang held the elderly man's hand tightly, looked at everyone with remorse and said.

"It's alright."

"Young Master, don't blame yourself."

"Because we did it willingly, even if we end up dying, there won't be a word of complaint."

The elderly man said.

"Yes."

"A warrior dies for a bosom friend; as long as we can help the Young Master, being broken into pieces means nothing."

Everyone laughed and said.

"A warrior dies for a bosom friend..."

Qin Feiyang murmured, not expecting such loyalty from everyone.

His heart was deeply moved.

Suddenly!

He let go of the elderly man's hand, bowed to everyone, and said, "Thank you all for trusting me. I, Qin Feiyang, swear here that no matter what happens in the future, I will stand with everyone, sharing joys and sorrows."

"Young Master, please don't."

"You are the master, we are your servants, we can't accept your bow!"

The elderly man hurriedly said.

"No."

"I am not the master, and you are not servants; we are friends, we are family."

"This is something that won't change whether it's before or after."

Qin Feiyang said solemnly.

"A Young Master like you makes facing death worthwhile!"

The elderly man laughed loudly.

Everyone laughed as well.

To have such a Young Master is truly a great blessing!

Heart Demon watched this scene, deeply moved.

An ancient sage once said: honesty leads people to trust and is the highest measure to win hearts.

Compared to the real master, he felt ashamed.

He turned to look at the Ghostly Snake Emperor, and asked, "Where is Mother?"

"Right there."

The Ghostly Snake Emperor looked toward the end of the corridor.

Heart Demon and Qin Feiyang turned their heads and saw, at the end of the corridor, a stone door.

The stone door was closed.

But there was a narrow window at the top of the stone door, convenient for peering inside.

Heart Demon immediately ran over.

"Quickly open the prison cell and let everyone out."

Qin Feiyang turned his head and said to the old woman and others, then quickly ran over.

The two stood before the door, peering inside through the window.

This prison cell was closed.

The space inside was also large, enough to be two or three hundred feet.

And right in the center of the cell, a woman dressed in white, sat cross-legged on a worn-out cushion.

Her face was haggard, her hair messy.

Her hands and feet were also shackled.

At this moment.

The woman was also looking at Qin Feiyang and Heart Demon.

Although a stone door stood between them, it could not block the mother's radiance, nor Qin Feiyang's yearning for his mother.

"Stand aside!"

Suddenly.

Qin Feiyang pushed Heart Demon aside, took out Blue Snow, and swung it at the stone door.

After several strikes, with a loud crash, the stone door fell to the ground!

Qin Feiyang immediately ran into the prison cell.

The woman slowly stood up, her face filled with a loving smile.

Qin Feiyang stopped in front of the woman, examined her haggard face, and knelt with a thud, saying, "Mother, I'm sorry, your son is late."

The woman was slightly taken aback, quickly bent over to help Qin Feiyang up, gazed deeply at his face, and after a long sigh, said, "Tian Er, the one who should apologize is actually your mother."

"Mother..."

Qin Feiyang stared at the woman, love-struck.

The woman slowly raised her arm, gently caressing Qin Feiyang's face, softly saying, "All these years, not only did I fail as a mother, I kept holding you back, worrying you, making you anxious, rushing around..."

"No, no."

"It's not like that."

"Your son never thought mother was holding him back."

"Moreover, to run around for mother is a son's duty, which he does willingly without complaint."

Qin Feiyang quickly shook his head, saying.

"You foolish child."

Seeing Qin Feiyang's anxious demeanor, the woman couldn't help but shake her head, smiling.

"Hehe!"

Qin Feiyang scratched his head, grinning foolishly.

"You're an adult now, still showing such a silly smile. Aren't you afraid your subordinates will laugh at you?"

Upon seeing this.

The woman couldn't help but shake her head, teasing.

Qin Feiyang laughed, saying, "In front of Mother, I am forever a child; let them laugh if they want!"

"You really never grow up."

The woman tapped Qin Feiyang's forehead, her face full of indulgence, then looked outside the door at Heart Demon.

Qin Feiyang finally remembered Heart Demon.

When he turned around and saw Heart Demon's awkward, uneasy look, he couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Come in, why are you hiding there? Afraid Mother will eat you?"

Heart Demon glared at Qin Feiyang in embarrassment, then looked up at the woman.

His demeanor was even more reserved than when he first met Uncle Yuan.

The woman said with a smile, "Come over!"

Heart Demon looked to Qin Feiyang for help.

"I'm baffled."

"You, who usually act so bold and unrestrained, become like a shy woman when faced with Mother? Can't you be a little bolder?"

Qin Feiyang shook his head helplessly, went forward, and pulled Heart Demon inside.
